Hi all,I have a single family home I purchased in June 2021 for 200k.Aside from cleaning up the yard, painting, and new water heater there have been no improvements.I recently got a letter that my taxes are going up as they believe the property to be worth 225k as of June 2022. 

Paint, basic cosmetic Lessons learned?

We added value by making a accent while in the living room, as well as refreshing all the furniture and decorations, painting the property, making a back door. back door out of the master bedroom because there was no way to get to the backyard without having to go through the side as well as some landscaping & new washer dryer.What was the outcome?

Had another one where tenant wanted out of lease and our lead paint certification expired on a Friday and they had a lawyer send a $5000 demand due to unsafe unit (which didn’t have lead paint in it) and us pay their moving.We told them we will let you out of the lease but will never give you a penny - that’s how it ended - they moved out and we let them out of lease

I will need to do some minor updates to the property (painting, updating bathroom tiling, updating trims, etc) in order to get the property rent ready. 

New kitchen, bathrooms, paint.

For some grieving takes a l-o-n-g time.

We put in around $30,000 to replace the roof, floors, paint and kitchen.

I got future walls done with wood panels as well as paint and wallpaper put up.What was the outcome?

Complete renovation- flooring, bathroom, kitchen, some windows, trim, paint, etc...
